SrTiO3: The Hydrogen Atom of Solid State Physics

This
special topics course will cover a number of modern areas in condensed
matter physics, materials science, nanoscience and engineering, viewed through the prism of a single
material system, SrTiO3. In this sense it will be both
exceptionally broad and deep. Each topic will describe a fundamental
set of concepts, using examples that will include SrTiO3but
also other material systems or toy models as well. Students may work
through exercises that help to create a comprehensive mosaic of
information and concepts related to research in the field of complex
oxides and oxide interfaces.
